WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.000 I might have invested in framework but I only find out all the cool stuff that 00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:12.920 they're up to like a couple days before you guys the good news is this time 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:14.960 around I am absolutely jazzed against an 00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:20.000 army of Industry Giants I'm seemingly Against All Odds they not only continue 00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:25.000 to survive but in front of me is their biggest launch announcement yet I'm 00:00:22.439 --> 00:00:30.960 talking seventh gen framework 13 their fastest 13-in laptop yet an allnew 12-in 00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:37.399 convertible laptop with finally a touchcreen finally and wait a 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:43.320 desktop did we really need framework to develop modular repairable 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:50.399 desktops oh wait hold on a second this is new modular swappable front IO and 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:53.359 look at this you can even swap these 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:58.680 tiles this one has a segue to our sponsor ug green are you getting the 00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:01.039 storage warning on your phone again well 00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:06.799 a ug green NZ could be the solution with up to 64 tabt of storage it can store up 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:10.320 to 22 million selfies and to keep them secure it comes with a built-in security 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:16.200 manager to protect your data so check out the ugreen nas sync dxp 2800 at the 00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:16.200 link in the video 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.640 description normally for a multi-product video we go from most exciting to less 00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:36.479 exciting and then save a pretty good one for the the end but I'm equally stoked 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.479 for everything here so game of 00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:46.560 chance hey nice one of my biggest 00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:48.880 disappointments at CES was AMD's stricks 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.159 Halo processor not the chip itself of course I mean that could be the coolest 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:58.560 thing that I've seen out of AMD in years and maybe even the coolest PC CPU on the 00:01:56.119 --> 00:02:03.439 market right now this thing has a massive integrated GP that boasts 00:02:00.759 --> 00:02:11.200 performance that is similar to an RTX 4060 on integrated graphics and it even 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:15.519 allows you to allocate up to 96 GB of 00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:18.440 its maximum 128 gigs of lpddr 5x to that 00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:24.599 GPU making it awesome for gamers creative professionals and AI developers 00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:30.840 no the disappointing thing was that this sick processor barely made it into any 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:33.840 products all I saw at the show was one 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.920 admittedly awesome laptop from HP and 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:39.080 One gaming tablet from Asus talking to 00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:43.239 those Brands they said the issue was that stricks Halo requires a complete 00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:48.519 motherboard and device redesign making its implementation in mobile devices 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:50.440 really costly so I guess framework said 00:02:48.519 --> 00:02:54.760 screw it we're a small company and can't afford all that but what if we just made 00:02:52.360 --> 00:03:00.480 it into a desktop is that really how it went down that is literally how it went 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.720 down oh well this 4 and 1/2 l least is 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:06.720 unmistakably framework it's got modular front I/O and a customizable front panel 00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:11.200 and the base model that I'm holding here will come with just black tiles and no 00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:15.519 handle but if you want you can get logos for games and generally nerdy things and 00:03:13.480 --> 00:03:18.599 stick them onto the front and if they don't have the exact thing you're 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:23.560 looking for they are also releasing the 3D print files so you can make whatever 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:28.439 you want and Alex has some cool stuff for us to show off I want to see what 00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:30.360 you got 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:36.400 nice what else we got who needs ventilation anyway Lego ones no way we 00:03:35.040 --> 00:03:43.680 could put Lego on the front of our computer yep oh no way this one I don't 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:46.159 think will work uh that is phallic not 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:54.439 as phallic as if I put it here oh no I broke it shoot my wife will be so 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:57.159 disappointed and the coolest one no this 00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:01.840 is our upcoming LT store upcycled CPU fidget spinner h of course most people 00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:05.640 aren't buying a desktop PC for the look so why don't we go around to the 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:10.640 business end at the back we've got a total of four display outputs and 5 GB 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:15.760 Ethernet meaning that this could conceivably be used for 4K video editing 00:04:13.079 --> 00:04:19.079 off of a network storage device and on the top of the launch boox you've got 00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:24.440 the option for a handle that also functions as the Fastener to open the 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:29.320 entire thing up how the devil what is happening right 00:04:31.320 --> 00:04:39.199 that's pretty cool first the top panel slides back then both of the side panels 00:04:36.039 --> 00:04:40.840 just slide up and off they come now 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:45.000 you'll notice that on the back panel here they had to sputter metal for 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:50.120 electromagnetic radiation compliance reasons but on the front they were able 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:55.800 to get away with a plastic panel and still pass Emi surprising not just me 00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:59.680 but apparently framework themselves now that we've got it open we can see that 00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:04.199 while they are using what isch technically a mobile processor they're 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:10.000 using a standard-sized mini ITX motherboard including a buy4 PCI E slot 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:13.840 meaning that when you were done with this as your primary desktop system you 00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:19.080 could pop this motherboard out and put it anywhere you want including 00:05:16.039 --> 00:05:20.759 installing PCI expansion cards over the 00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:24.960 processor they're using a heat sink that was made in collaboration with Cooler 00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:30.199 Master and you have the option of a fan either from Cooler Master or noctua 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:35.000 which by the way guys has barely been spinning this entire time here thanks in 00:05:32.919 --> 00:05:38.960 part to the Honeywell phase change thermal interface material now one thing 00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:43.759 I was slightly concerned about with this system was the CPU die because it's a 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:48.240 mobile processor it's designed to have the cooler directly on the exposed die 00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:52.880 itself without an integrated heat spreader this can run the risk of 00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:57.919 potentially cracking the die in shipping and in the event that the user removes 00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:00.000 the cooler and reinstalls it inexpertly 00:05:57.919 --> 00:06:04.000 but fortunately AMD thought of this and includes the shim so hopefully it should 00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:08.199 be pretty low risk we've got a couple more fun little 00:06:06.280 --> 00:06:12.880 cooling Innovations down here at the bottom is a little tiny fresh air intake 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:16.479 for the power supply so it doesn't have to share its Air Supply with the rest of 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:20.599 the PC and then at the top of the machine there's a handy little cutout 00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:26.199 that makes accessing both the CPU fan header and the RGB header a bit easier 00:06:23.400 --> 00:06:30.960 at least for those with bigger fies the other things that are super easy to 00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:34.560 access are boom your Wi-Fi module and 00:06:30.960 --> 00:06:37.000 your PCIe Gen 4 m.2 SSD storage along 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:41.199 with a second m.2 slot that's around here at the front now one thing that 00:06:39.080 --> 00:06:46.479 unfortunately cannot be upgraded after purchase is system memory so make sure 00:06:44.039 --> 00:06:49.039 you get enough from the get-go I hope that this is something that can be 00:06:47.479 --> 00:06:53.400 improved in the future but it would require permission from AMD the good 00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:59.360 news is the desktop can be outfitted with up to 128 gigs of lpddr 5x and 00:06:57.039 --> 00:07:04.039 framework expects that a lot of users are going to be buying that top config 00:07:01.479 --> 00:07:09.120 to run AI models for power we've got a semi-custom unit from fsp that's a 00:07:05.960 --> 00:07:11.440 little bit deceptive while it says 400 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:15.759 WTS on the label they actually selected a power supply that was designed to do 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:20.800 600 watts then they downrated it to make sure that it runs very quietly and 00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:25.960 efficiently man this thing looks cool I am psyched these are usb4 obviously 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:30.240 right those too sick before we move on to the next product can you explain why 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:34.440 this doesn't have replaceable LP cam modules already and where you got that 00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:38.960 amazing embroidered Hood I do love this I wear it all the time so we did 00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:41.680 actually ask AMD about this the first time they told us about strick was 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:47.800 actually literally our first question how do we get modu or memory we are framework after all and they didn't say 00:07:45.960 --> 00:07:52.159 no actually they did assign one of their technical Architects like really really 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:55.840 go deep on this they ran simulations they ran studies they just determine 00:07:54.159 --> 00:08:00.360 that it's not possible with st Halo to do LP cam the signal Integrity doesn't 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:05.520 work out because of how that memory is Fanning out over the 256 bit bus oh well 00:08:03.479 --> 00:08:11.039 that's bad news but hey your hoodie looks great coming soon LTT Store.com 00:08:07.960 --> 00:08:11.039 look it's a framework circuit 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:18.080 board that is a bummer but the good news is that framework has committed to not 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:21.319 nickel and dime people on the RAM upgrades absolutely it sounds like I'm 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:26.919 saying absolutely I'm going to nickel and dime people when you frame it that way but you won't I won't I promise I 00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:31.319 love the look of this thing but MAV I have a bit of a problem if you could if 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:34.760 I could borrow you for a second here when I invested in you guys and you know 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:38.000 all the inconvenience of the disclosures and everything I don't cover laptops 00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:43.959 that much and I wasn't that worried about it you guys make a desktop 00:08:41.839 --> 00:08:49.040 now yeah do you not see the inconvenience for me of you guys having 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.040 what is an incredible product but one that conflicts with literally everything 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:56.040 I cover yeah it just means there's going to be 10 seconds of every video you ever 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:59.959 do again talking about us that sounds that sounds really great oh my God 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:08.760 next up is something that I've been pleading for since the beginning from 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:10.320 framework a touchscreen option I just 00:09:08.760 --> 00:09:16.040 wasn't expecting there to be a whole new device attached to it meet the framework 00:09:13.079 --> 00:09:20.640 12 a convertible 12.2 in laptop with repairability of course and maybe more 00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:25.640 importantly for you folks who haven't been able to pull the trigger on a 13 or 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:28.320 a 16 price at the very center of its 00:09:25.640 --> 00:09:32.920 design philosophy possibly my favorite feature here has got to be the colors 00:09:30.680 --> 00:09:37.920 they have five in total that all look fantastic and although the materials are 00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:42.920 plastic they have done it in an unapologetically durable way with TPU 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:48.279 bumpers to absorb shocks and a metal internal structure to make sure that it 00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:49.880 isn't too floppy up top we get a 1200p 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.360 touchscreen with 400 nits Peak brightness that is a lot better than 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:59.040 what I would normally expect from like an affordable screen even though uh the 00:09:57.560 --> 00:10:03.079 bezels are a little on the bigger side yeah I'm getting the knot and it gets 00:10:00.839 --> 00:10:07.720 even better if touching isn't your thing the 12 is also available with a color 00:10:05.160 --> 00:10:11.800 matched stylus and comes with a color match screwdriver speaking of now's as 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:15.120 good a time as any to take it apart isn't it I'm going to use my screwdriver 00:10:13.839 --> 00:10:19.519 though if it's all the same to you it's okay I'll show yours wait do you guys 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:26.480 even have the color matched one we have them in Taiwan oh I'll get mine do you 00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:30.720 want to powered off first fine oh is that the only sample that 00:10:28.839 --> 00:10:33.880 exists in that's the only ID complete one oh okay that explains why you want 00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:40.040 me to not break it I mean you could just put another motherboard in it's super repairable all captive screws love to 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:44.279 see it and you guys have the new locking position locks oh my God 00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:50.480 this one really doesn't want to come out does it you can lock them in oh no it's not locked in oh child wait how did I 00:10:48.560 --> 00:10:56.519 how did you remove that so easily inside once we get in there shut up Child 00:10:52.959 --> 00:10:59.360 Safety Lock oh red is for 00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:06.959 unlock okay who else on the entire Earth uses red for unlocked cars oh they 00:11:04.079 --> 00:11:13.160 do oh they've got little finger tabbies and this is a big Improvement 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:18.120 gone is the ribbon cable that connects the keyboard to the motherboard here is 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:21.839 a pogo pin interface they're more expensive but boy are they ever more 00:11:19.920 --> 00:11:26.480 user friendly what else we got in here the modular IO that we've come to know 00:11:23.880 --> 00:11:30.920 and love but this time with a little party trick the expansion cards can be 00:11:28.680 --> 00:11:34.480 locked in place so that if these laptops get deployed in a school for instance 00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:38.920 the teachers don't have to worry about little Timmy hucking USBC ports at 00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:42.839 Little Sally across the room here's a nice little touch this little magnet 00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:47.880 right here that holds the keyboard down so the Pogo pin stay nicely attached it 00:11:45.680 --> 00:11:52.519 doubles as a holder for your RAM Shield when you're working on it how cool is 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:57.160 that now you might have noticed that there's just one RAM Shield over a 00:11:54.560 --> 00:12:02.639 single RAM slot meaning that this laptop does run in single Channel mode which is 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:04.839 is kind of a shame but not a shame is 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:09.240 the little toolless SSD holder right here making upgrades just that little 00:12:06.760 --> 00:12:14.320 bit easier now for the processor in this thing we don't get anything wild it's 00:12:10.839 --> 00:12:16.639 either an Intel core I3 1215 U or a 1334 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:22.000 U which are neither the fastest nor the most efficient processors but what they 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:24.480 are is decent enough and affordable not 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:29.360 to mention way better than the cerons that you find in real low-end Windows 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:32.959 machines down at the bottom we get a 50w battery which hopefully will last a good 00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:36.480 long while uh but we won't have actual numbers until we get a production sample 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:40.199 later this year and we also don't have exact pricing yet but it will definitely 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:45.639 start for under $1,000 finally while framework has only 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:51.120 been around for 5 years they have been very busy and we are now on the seventh 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:55.040 iteration of their original framework 13 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:57.000 that oh no has finally caved to Pure 00:12:55.040 --> 00:13:01.399 pressure and given the people what they've so desperately wanted a 00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:08.720 touchcreen no not yet a co-pilot button framework 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:14.000 was so excited to show us their new keyboards with the co-pilot button that 00:13:10.920 --> 00:13:16.360 they forgot to bring a sample of it so 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:21.360 here's some b-roll thankfully the co-pilot key is just one of the options 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:26.519 and they now also offer a keyboard with no Windows logos at all for the Linux 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:30.000 users out there and more importantly they've redone the structure of the keys 00:13:28.079 --> 00:13:34.920 moving from metal to plastic for the larger keys this was done not to cheap 00:13:32.760 --> 00:13:38.920 out but because at certain frequencies the metal would start buzzing and 00:13:36.760 --> 00:13:43.680 vibrating and the plastic helps make the speaker sound a bit better go figure the 00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:49.120 biggest change of course though is the performance for the first time we're 00:13:45.920 --> 00:13:53.240 getting a ryzen 9 CPU specifically the 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:56.399 ryzen 9 AI HX 370 with 12 cores and up 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:58.320 to 5.1 GHz boost clock to keep this 00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:02.920 monster cool they've moved from two small heat pipes to a single large one 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:09.120 also aided by a swap to phase change thermal interface material oh the bezels 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:11.000 also get a small update is that right to 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:14.399 make sure that everything oh cute to
